Abstract  

The crystal structure of the title compound C₂₂H₃₀N₄O₂·H₂O (L), has been determined using X-ray diffraction at 293 K. The crystal of 1,2-bis[4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxobutyl]benzene is in triclinic crystal system with space group P(−1) (Z = 2), lattice parameters a = 8.225(6) ?, b = 10.967(6) ?, c = 12.903(6) ?, V = 1119.1(11) ?³. Analyses of single crystals of L, crystallized from dichloromethane/diethyl ether (1:1), revealed that the molecules are arranged in couples, which adopt a pseudo chair conformation, by means of intermolecular O–H···N hydrogen bonding interactions. Moreover, the extended structure revealed a 1D chain caused by several C–H···N intermolecular interactions.

Abstract  

The title compounds, 4-(3-nitropyridin-2-ylamino)phenol (I) and 4-(3-aminopyridin-2-ylamino)phenol (II), are two intermediates for the synthesis of a potential antitumor agent ABT-751. The reaction of 4-aminophenol with 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine yielded I which was converted into II by reduction. Instead of the Pd/C catalytic hydrogenation described in many literature, reduction with cheap sodium sulfide in aqueous media was utilized for shorting the reaction time and simplifying the operation. The crystal structures of the resultant compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound I is crystallized in P2₁/c space group of monoclinic system, with a = 11.5236(19) ?, b = 8.7389(17) ?, c = 10.684(3) ? and α = 90.00°, β = 107.76(3)°, γ = 90.00°.

In both crystal structures, the intermolecular N–H–O and O–H–N hydrogen bonds link the molecules, which effectively stabilize the structures.

X-ray Structures of Pharmacologically Active 2-(3,5-Dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-methylacetanilides

Abstract X-ray structures of three pharmacologically active lidocaine analogs, containing a common, substituted pyrazole moiety as the basic residue and variously substituted phenyl rings as the hydrophobic residue, have been determined. This isomeric series comprises 2-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-2′-methylacetanilide (1), 2-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-3′-methylacetanilide monohydrate (2), and 2-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-4′-methylacetanilide (3). Crystal data are 1: space group P2 ₁ /c with a = 4.7617(2), b = 11.5638(4), c = 23.603(1) ?, β = 90.736(2)°, Z = 4; 2: P2 ₁ /c with a = 4.7260(1), b = 13.7001(4), c = 21.7006(6) ?, β = 93.425(1)°, Z = 4; 3: P2 ₁ /n with a = 6.4103(3), b = 24.584(1), c = 8.4449(4) ?, β = 100.273(3)°, Z = 4. In 1–3, the amide bond is trans-planar but the basic and hydrophobic residues adopt different orientations relative to this plane. Hydrogen bonding in 1 and 3 is based on C(4) linear arrays whereas in the monohydrate 2, the presence of water gives rise to R ₄ ⁴ (16) ring motifs. A summary of the local anesthetic and anti-arrhythmic properties of 1–3 is provided.

Caira, Mircea Iovu, and Elena Cristea The title compounds are lidocaine analogs that display local anesthetic and anti-arrhythmic activities. X-ray analyses revealed a range of solid-state conformations among these isomeric compounds as well as variation in hydrogen bonding schemes, namely C(4) (R = o-, p-CH3) and R44(16) (R = m-CH3, monohydrate crystal). 1,1-Os3(CO)9(μ-CO)(phen)
